damn i never dropped a phone in the toilet clean or dirty...did you blow dry it ? cool air?

 

Huge mistake turning it on right away. You should always remove the battery and throw everything in a bag of rice for a couple of days.

 

please keep us updated...whats the latest???

 

yeah for future reference if it ever happens again - don't turn it on until it is fully dried. However too late now but all might not be lost. Switch off remove battery and put in a bag of rice in a warm place for a day then see how it goes. My gf spilt water on her iphone and didn't switch it off. The earpiece stopped working and it basically seemed like a gonner but when I got hold of it I turned it off and put it on a radiator in a bag of rice. I didn't expect it to work as it had been left switched on but amazingly the next day it was fully functioning again!

 

I did this today with my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos smartphone, and would love to know what ultimately happened to your phone, as it seems you did the exact same 'wrong' thing as me: turned it on before fully dry. I immediately dried mine as much as I could with a towel. Then I tried to open it up so as to dry the insides as well. I couldn't open it even after unscrewing the screws. At that point, I did what I'd forgotten reading before was important not to do: turned it on. At first, I was relieved to see the welcome screen. Then my heart sank as this started turning from black to white, and the welcome message faded and became illegible. I then went online and found out about sinking the components in a bag of uncooked rice, which is where they've been for about the past ten hours. What I'd really like to know (and have been unable to find out via Google) is whether there's still hope in the light of what happened when I turned the phone on, or whether doing that was most likely the kiss of death. Of course, I'll find out in two or three days when I remove the phone from the rice. But it might help my anxiety levels in the meantime to hear from you on whether yours is ok now! Thanks so much!!

 

I'll second the bag of rice.

Also, if you got the phone from Orange, consider getting Orange Care. It's an expense at
